Yes, This Will Be On the Test

Saturday, May 10, 2014

Hang out with Tabby, high school drama queen and self-proclaimed future Academy Award winner.

Medeia Sharif's story examines the artistic personality and how being overly-dramatic can skew your sense of justice.

Loved the setting and appreciated Tabby's journey from being self-absorbed to discovering a more mature sense of her priorities.

Congratulations Medeia on your wonderful story.

SNIP, SNIP REVENGE by Medeia Sharif

YA Contemporary, Evernight Teen
Release Date April 25, 2014

Beautiful, confident Tabby Karim has plans for the winter: nab a role in her school’s dramatic production, make the new boy Michael hers, and keep bigoted Heather—with her relentless Ay-rab comments—at bay. When a teacher’s lie and her father’s hastiness rob her of her beautiful hair, her dreams are dashed. The fastest barber in Miami Beach has made her look practically bald. With all her pretty hair gone, Tabby doesn’t believe she fits the feminine role she’s auditioning for. Michael is still interested in her, but he’s playing it cool. Heather has taken to bullying her online, which is easier to do with Tabby’s ugly haircut. Tabby spearheads Operation Revenge, which proves satisfying until all of her problems deepen. After messing up, she sets to make things right.
